FAQs

What is the purpose of the wafer head?

The wafer head distributes the load under the screw head, offering a firm and positive fixing.

What material are these screws made of?

These screws are made of steel with zinc plating.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor applications.

What size screwdriver do I need?

You will need a Phillips head screwdriver.

Can I use these screws on wood?

No, these screws are specifically designed for use with PVCu and are not recommended for wood.

What does 'self-drilling' mean?

Self-drilling means the screw has a tip that cuts through the material, eliminating the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole.

Troubleshooting

Screw is not drilling into the PVCu.

Ensure you are using the correct size and type of screw. Apply firm, steady pressure when driving the screw.

Screw head is stripping.

Use a Phillips head screwdriver that fits the screw head properly. Avoid applying excessive torque.

Corrosion appears on the screw.

Check if the screws are exposed to the weather. If so, apply a sealant to prevent further corrosion, or replace the screw.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Installation: Use a Phillips head screwdriver of the correct size. Ensure the screwdriver is properly seated to avoid stripping the screw head.
